Prox-1 and VEGFR3 antibodies are superior to D2-40 in identifying endothelial cells of lymphatic malformations--a proposal of a new immunohistochemical panel to differentiate lymphatic from other vascular malformations

..It has been shown that there is lack of expression of A and B blood group antigens on fresh and cryopreserved homograft valves. However, expression of these antigens on the homograft vessel conduit has not been reported...

Prox-1 and VEGFR3 antibodies are superior to D2-40 in identifying endothelial cells of lymphatic malformations--a proposal of a new immunohistochemical panel to differentiate lymphatic from other vascular malformations

..The early radiographic features and histologic criteria are discussed. Burkitt lymphoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any rapidly expanding or swelling jaw masses in young patients...

A novel TCIRG1 gene mutation leads to severe osteopetrosis with altered content of monocytes/macrophages in several organs

..Magnetic resonance imaging and tissue biopsy are usually needed for a definitive diagnosis. Surgery is the primary treatment option; however, the patient described was unusual in that she did well to date with conservative measures...

A protocol for the handling of tissue obtained by operative lung biopsy: recommendations of the chILD pathology co-operative group

..I think he would have been pleased to see the changes that have occurred over the past 10 years in pediatric lung biology and pathology in particular, because these were particularly favored interests of his later years...

Defective pulmonary development in the absence of heparin-binding vascular endothelial growth factor isoforms

..We concluded that the absence of VEGF 164 and 188 isoforms impairs lung microvascular development and delays airspace maturation, indicating an essential role for heparin-binding VEGF isoforms in normal lung development...

Temporal soft tissue glioneuronal heterotopia in a child with a seizure disorder: case report and review of the literature

..Considerable confusion exists regarding nomenclature, classification, and management of pediatric diffuse lung diseases due to the relative rarity and differences in the spectrum of disease between adults and young children...
